There's a section at the end of Can't Fear Your Own World 3 where the author discussed how Kubo has written a detailed backstory for nearly every character in Bleach and when the topic of Yoruichi and Urahara's backstory came up and Kubo told them it, they told Kubo it had to be drawn in manga form and not in a Light Novel.
@@humanbeing418 there was talk that we were supposed to get a Urahara flashback during his fight with Askin, but I don't know how accurate that is. But I'm hoping his backstory will play a part & get fleshed out in the new hell arc. If we ever get it, that is 😅
I quite like the idea that Urahara is a illegitimate child of the unknown fifth noble clan. The Shihohin clan found him and took him in, which would explain why he was always close with their princess, and was granted access to the dark history of the SS. It would also explain why he remains loyal to the system, as a descendant of the ones who commited the Origial Sin, he might feel obligated to keep the status quo as it is. It would also fit with his past as someone who has done a lot of dark deeds in service to the nobles, as well as his trait of viewing others as pawns, even those close to him.
That's true. Almost forgot that Squad 2 sees its members as expendable pawns who are sacrificed for the mission's sake. It makes you wonder how prevalent this policy was under Yoruichi's Captaincy since according to Soifon's flashbacks and other materials she tried to maintain a mild regime especially compared to Soifon's later authoritarian command. A superior bonding with lowly recruit like Soifon shows that even if they had the bodyguard protected dynamic.
@@manuelacosta9463 Indeed, Yoruichi's Captaincy does seem to go against the typical style of leadership that Soifon was expecting. Then again, it does seem like Soifon might have idealized Yoruichi because of how she was treated specifically. The fact that Soifon own reign as Captain was much closer to the norm, might hint that Squad 2 still kept up with their usual duites under Yoruichi, she was just more willing to be involved with and caring about her squad then what was normal. Given how cold and ruthless she came off as in the ending of CFYOW, it is clear that Yoruichi has the still has the ruthlessness of an assassin, she just does not like to show that side of herself unless she deems it necessary.
@@jrgenvellesen7800 Yes. She has an interesting duality, assassin raised her entire life to be a weapon who nevertheless never let it go completely to her head yet is deadly. It's telling how she has made strides to shake off Soifon's ruthlessness and dedication, even disliking her use of deadly force in CFYOW when they battle Tokinada's hired assassins, pointedly telling her to not live up to the noble's legacy and expectations.
@@manuelacosta9463 Indeed. Yoruichi's story is one of nature vs. nurture, her desire for personal freedom and forming bonds clashing with her upbringing as an enforcer of a authoritarian government and maintaining a world that was founded upon deceit and bloodshed. The fact that she is overall more caring and personable then the often detached Kisuke, makes her more cold and ruthless moments all the more unnerving. More so because Kisuke is more upfront about that side of him, even when someone like Aizen is repulsed by his acceptance of the status quo.
@@jrgenvellesen7800 Yes. One moment that captures this with Yoruichi is when she meets Tokinada and throughout the meeting he rants that he can't comprehend that he would be seen as a bad person since the nobles are all like him regardless if they claim otherwise. Yoruichi sadly acknowledges this as the case. It shows how despite it all she still has a moral compass despite her old assassin's life and the contradicting dichotomy of someone from her world having such sentiments despite it being dictated that she not.
Urahara is one of those characters that can have an insane multilayered backstory, or nothing unique at all and it would still somehow fit in with his personality. Probably why he’s one of the goats of Bleach.
I think he is a God like ichibe(sorry if i spelled his name wrong.), but only time will tell. He seems like the type of guy to play around using powers given to him rather than his true power no one knows about. I feel he is trying to achieve something, but for peace rather than destruction of worlds. However his connection and help to ichigo makes me wonder what he wishes to accomplish. He could also be a living aspect of the soul king, but maybe that's too off the walls.
Also liked how in CFYOW he objected to Yoruichi's suggesting that they memory wipe Hisagi for digging into the history of the Spirit King, being legitimately unnerved by her paranoid and increasingly hostile demeanor. He may have been a killer for the status quo alongside her but he does have his own standards even if it's not apparent.
@@vixinitydbz She really wanted to wipe away Hisagi's memory after he met with Urahara and they discussed certain aspects about the war and the Spirit King.The truth about the Spirit King is a deeply guarded secret and anyone who finds out is usually assassinated by killers sent by the nobles, Squad 2 being among them. Yoruichi was really paranoid and edgy about it and Kisuke did not like her demeanor, asking if she was feeling ok. It shows how the sin of the ancestors still resonates in the present.
There's no doubt he is of noble stock. How else was he granted unprecedented access to Soul Society's best technology and deepest secrets while being given extensive leeway and allowed to get so close to the Shihouin princess? Perhaps he belongs to a lesser family that was severely damaged or wiped out in the endless feuding among the nobility.
@@brentlybennett357accusing someone with " You haven't paid attention to the story at all" is not gonna make you sound smarter if you can't help but understand your point of view. 😅
Kisuke is my favorite bleach character! I definitely think he could come from the 5th noble clan that we know nothing about. It would be nice if Kubo would go into his origins, maybe in the hell Arc? But if he never does it won't take away the fact that Kisuke is an absolute beast! Much love from Arizona 💜💜
kisuke is awesome, his mysterious origins and incredible abilities make him a fan favorite. it would indeed be interesting to learn more about his background, perhaps in a future arc.
It would make sense for him to find a peace of the soul king seeing that the yorouichi family played a role in the downfall of the soul king. Each family probably took a peace of the soul king to power up there house hold and to keep a balance
Aizen's hogyoku and Ichigo share an interesting relationship. They are both Aizen's creation in a way and are both meant to be something with potential to become or surpass the soul king. Aizen wanted to become greater than his current self by removing the limitations on his soul so he merged with the hogyoku and became transcendent. Ichigo however became transcendent when he stopped limiting his soul and accepted it for what it was. The irony between wanting to be greater and accepting yourself to become greater is amazingly written by Kubo.
Kisuke definitely seems like the kind of person who lived in the Seireitei. Not in a position of high authority, but at least recognizing his skills and intelligence. It's likely that he may have some gentry noble lineage, not enough to matter but also explain his well learned person even before he came to live under the Shihōin Noble House.
Knowing that he founded of the Shinigami R&D Institute and even more, created something as significant as the Hōgyoku. You could argue that Urahara should qualify as at least sub-Royal Guard level based on his knowledge and scientific contributions. ~especially if he continues to do more in the Hell arc
yeah, Urahara's knowledge and scientific contributions definitely make him a formidable character. It'll be interesting to see if he continues to play a significant role in the Hell arc.
I wholeheartedly believe we will learn about their past in the third or fourth cour. So much bonus material has already been added. And when TYBW was initially being released Kubo initially did mention that he was going to include their backstories. It just never materialized because of what ultimately happened. So I do believe he already has it all planned out, and finally there is an opportunity for their past to be animated in the anime.
so Urahara's parents might've been retainers to Yoriuchi's father/mother, and Kisuke's parents died so the clan head took him in to raise alongside their own
I don't know if Aizen and Urahara are polar opposites of each other. More like they're identical in every way but come to opposing decisions. If they hogyoku enhances something of a person, it increased Aizen's spiritual power and Urahara's intellect. Both of which were already immense making them broken. From there they decided to reach different positions. Rulers and scientists usually have different views of the world.
If the Soul King had its limbs cut off , its crazy to imagine that Kisuke found like the incarnation of Soul King's ears? Thus explaining how he knows that much . Beeing able to hear everything in all 3 realms of Bleach , everything that any soul says anytime from birth to death , thus explaining how he knows that much about the undergrounds of Soul Society/Human World and Hueco Mundo as well .
He definitely has some type of sixth sense 😂 there’s a panel of him when the soul king dies that shows him directly looking at the sky when it happens.
Leave the connection between Urahara and hot springs. Take a moment to think of his bankai. Similar to Senjumaru shikay powers - it stiches everything and she has power over needles and fabrics. Also let me remind that he has female zanpaktou, which means female had to influence his life strongly enough and the posture which in bankai of Benihime appeaers behind him resembles Senjumaru a bit
well, The similarities between Urahara's Bankai and Senjumaru's powers, as well as the presence of a female influence in Urahara's life, could be intriguing connections to explore.
Great video as usual. Nice to learn more about Urahara. I don't usually comment on videos in general, but there was something about this one that stuck out to me. I could be wrong, as the thumbnail image isn't that hi-res, but is the child Urahara image on the left AI generated? I did my best to examine it closely, and believe I noticed some tell-tale signs of it being such. As this is your video, it is certainly your prerogative to use AI generated imagery, and I realise it can be a great time saver; however, I believe I would be remiss if I did not point out the issues with a channel that discusses Kubo's work, generally praising his artistry, using (either personally generating or sourcing from a third party) the outputs from software which have ingested the works from millions of artists and creatives, including Kubo, without permission, compensation, or even credit. Furthermore, the art style of that image looks like pretty standard anime-esque AI imagery, meaning it's likely using fine-tuning models which are themselves mostly created by training on artists works without permission and distributed on various platforms. My point is this, I believe it is unethical to use these models and their outputs in any form, and especially hypocritical for a channel that is discussing and praising an artist like Kubo. Please do not use them. Obviously, I can't make you do anything, and again it's your choice, all I can do is inform you of the situation with this technology. That being said, I could of course be wrong about that image of the child Urahara, or you may not have known. So if that ends up being the case, I do apologise. Again, the video is good as usual and I wish you well.
I do believe he is from a noble family maybe the 5th but something happen and Tesi excape with him when he was a baby so it was kepted as a secret to protect him
I wonder if Aizen knows that Ichigo is a suitable replacement for the soul king. a man like that, with the goals that he has ''accidentally'' creating the perfect replacement for SK may be quite a blow, or boost to his ego
He possibly does, he specifically wanted to talk to Ichigo one last time in CFYOW's opening before Shunsui and Kisuke stopped that by sealing his mouth and then having him taken away quickly.
He often sell like superstitious items to random customers or just normal candy This is possibly already answered by by Kubo himself in his QnA session (or not i am not up to date)
Urahara is just someone very smart and only occasionally takes an intrest into things. He doesn't even have a outstanding amount of reiatsu. He refined his abilities. I don't think he'd be expelled from Soul Society if he was a noble. He'd be just put under Hausarrest. Urahara warned Hisagi that if he were to pry too deep into history he would find thing that would make him question the ways of the soul reapers. He is like Kyoraku aware of the wrongs of the worlds but rather decides to keep the status quo while Aizen wanted to destroy the established system. As long as he remains in the world of the living as a supporter he's left alone.
Indeed. The most common criticism of him and I'm sure this was pointed out in story if not correct me, is that for Kisuke being such a genius it was all essentially wasted since it only benefiting those in power among the nobility and then Shinigami. In the postwar era, as we saw in the hell chapter, that has changed with TV and information from the human world becoming more accessible to everyone thanks to him. For someone who once literally killed to keep a stagnant status quo intact he sure has become an arbiter of its change.
urahara: smart, refined abilities. not much reiatsu. if noble, hausarrest. warns hisagi about history's secrets. like kyoraku, aware but keeps status quo. as supporter in world of living, left alone.
@killerv135 Exactly. His reiatsu is well above average by feats alone in every arc. He was captain level as a 3rd seat. People need to stop dismissing his abilities. Just because he's never reiatsu flexed on anyone doesn't mean he can't. His mastery of all shinigami combat forms prove him to be on a level above most of the G13.
Urahara after being framed for a crime he never committed could have turned heel to destroy the Soul Society and Soul Reapers when having knowledge of The Original Sin but he opted to keep the status quo ironically Aizen didn't get exiled after attempting to destroy the Soul Society and Soul Reapers by overthrowing the Soul King. Some can speculate about his origins of nobility or coming from a modest family having ties with the Shioin clan or grew up in a rough district of the Soul Society. He laid back nature with his incredible intelligence is what makes him popular. He created a Kido that will only activate once Aizen is weakened which he hid without Aizen knowing about it. He also played a key role in Bleach like helping Ichigo to regain his Soul Reaper powers on both occasions, transported Karakura Town to the Soul Society, created the Hogyoku which is far superior to Aizen's, helped the Soul Reapers to get back their Bankais from The Quincies and was the key to Aizen's downfall.
Urahara's complex character and his involvement in various pivotal moments of Bleach make him a fan favorite. His origins and motivations remain intriguing, leaving room for speculation and theories about his past.
Tanjiro And other 0 squad member. The mommy whose loves to eat. Also there is a connection between Urahara and that lady. Cause, the gigai pills. Or just maybe Urahara is just a nerd, he is the one that can made his own world and stuffs by himself. He is preparing something, for the sake of sireiretei.
Nah I think tessai is more likely to be the one from the fifth family. It works much better if Tessainwas from the fifth and Urahara was somekind of an Orphan I say this loosely cause I have this backstory in my head and I just need proof if my theory is at least close, I'd like to Imagine Kisuke met Tessai, Yoruichi, and Kukkaku at some point and he did it by breaking into Shihouin clans home as a way to test a theory he had, then the four met each other at first they didn't respect him or at least didn't think too much of him, but overtime they get into whacky adventures and who knows some potential crazy plot which might involve Kukaku's Hand being cut off and Kisuke built this Prosthetic arm for her; admittedly it's only in the anime since cencorship but it's still possible for him to give her one cause it's Kisuke; or Tessai getting a development where he was a guy who looked at him as someone who wasn't all that impressive and in a humble way not in a douchebag manner but became someone who was in awe of his Genius and Yoruichi seeing him as this guy with untapped and unlimited potential which she tries to bring out by putting him into these positions without his consent. Hell it sounds like he could be a main character with the right set up.
I honestly feel like Kisuke created the Hogyoku in order to create another Soul King OR in order to find a source of power to REPLACE the Soul King. Cause it doesn’t make sense to create something of that much power and NOT have Squad Zero get involved. Ichibei Hypsube MOST DEFINITELY knew about it and was probably told by the Soul King what was going on. But when Kisuke was kicked out of the Soul Society those plans were interrupted. Kisuke was more than likely given that order directly from The Reio or Ichibei. And failed to create a perfect Hogyoku.
intriguing theory about Urahara's motivations and the purpose of the Hogyoku. It's possible that Urahara had a larger plan in mind, but the details remain mysterious.
Hey Imran I know I might sound annoying but... I've recently noticed that you've been using AI for some of your thumbnail, in my opinion they don't look really good and you should stick to Kubo's art and fanarts (if you have permissions). By the way I love the addition of the chibis and your little character but I do find it a bit hard to understand what emotion you trying to convince by using some expressions, my impression is the expression doesn't "fit" what your're saying sometimes, maybe that's just me... Anyways keep up with the great work. 🙌
It would be cool if Orihime were Urahara's secret daughter...hear me out. Urahara and Orihime are very similar in personality in many ways. Remember Urahara has been in the human world for a long while and Orihime's mother was known to be a prostitute. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Urahara unintentionally got Orihime's mother pregnant and the reason for Orihime being treated like trash might be because she is illegitimate. This distant relative aunt who is paying for Orihime's finances could actually be Urahara without Orihime knowing. Not convinced? What about Orihime's hair and eye color (reference anime only). Why is Ichigo's hair color bright orange? Because of Ichigo''s mother hair is orange? No. If I remember correctly, her hair color was more brown, in the anime it was similar to Orihime color tho. My point is...could the orange hair represent something else like soul reaper blood? I'm just saying...the evidence it there.
How come he creates the hogyoko yet never guards it well? I think he created it as a trap to coax both ichigo and aizen and for it absorb reishi around it and come back steal it and use it unseal hell or absorb hell. Or something. There is not a solution about the soul king. I think the arc isn't done.
because, Urahara's intentions with the Hogyoku and his actions surrounding it are indeed mysterious. The future of the Soul King and the possibility of an unfinished arc are intriguing possibilities.
Just like how kubo purposely won’t tell the backstory of aizen, he won’t for urahara also. The mystery fits the story better and urahara may play a big role in the hell arc since he told yurichi if he should turn evil, she should be the one to stop him
Where's the novel content from bleach UA-camrs? I'm honestly tired of seeing theories and power scaling nonsense when there is so much content available if one would only do the research
CFYOW confirms that the hogyoku has a fragment of SK in it? Thats...kind of lame to be honest, I liked the idea of it being nothing to do with the SK. I mean everything else is fine to me but I mean not everything in the series needs to be due to the SK imo...
I like to believe that he got his hat from a mysterious old man on the street.

He was also Yoruichi's childhood retainer, so him being of minor nobility is the most likely origin for him.
Trolls of a feather flock together 🪶
interesting theory,
I really enjoy these longer videos because I can listen before bed or fall asleep to it.
Kisuke is my favorite bleach character! I definitely think he could come from the 5th noble clan that we know nothing about. It would be nice if Kubo would go into his origins, maybe in the hell Arc? But if he never does it won't take away the fact that Kisuke is an absolute beast!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
Kisuke Urahara really is one of greatest Bleach characters and Chelsea you are so beautiful I like your purple hairs. 💜

I’d prefer if both urahara and aizen were just both orphans who worked their way up the same way most other characters did
cool idea.
I've never heard of this theory about Kirinji, but it sounds very intriguing.
Honestly Either Aizen or Urahara can be from a Noble Family.
The characters contrast too much
I love how ur videos always have really cool animations in them
so Urahara's parents might've been retainers to Yoriuchi's father/mother, and Kisuke's parents died so the clan head took him in to raise alongside their own
Now create a version of the hogyoku that can give Shinigami the power of Quincys while simultaneously making them immune to Yhwach’s Aushwälen
I don't know if Aizen and Urahara are polar opposites of each other. More like they're identical in every way but come to opposing decisions. If they hogyoku enhances something of a person, it increased Aizen's spiritual power and Urahara's intellect. Both of which were already immense making them broken. From there they decided to reach different positions. Rulers and scientists usually have different views of the world.
It's entirely possible that both Aizen and Kisuke saw the Soul King as a by product of creating tye Hokyoku.
Kisuke is def of noble stock. Dudes powers and intellect of the soul king pretty much sums it up.
Content of the video aside I can't get over how cute thumbnail Urahara looks
If the Soul King had its limbs cut off , its crazy to imagine that Kisuke found like the incarnation of Soul King's ears? Thus explaining how he knows that much .

Urahara is so broken that Kubo has yet to find a pen/pencil that doesn't break when writing about Kisuke.....
He is like an unofficial Zero Division Member😂
Joining the Gotei 13 was the best rehabilitation for Mayuri. Whether how controversial, or not.
Hogyoku is deadass the soul kings balls
i hope so hard that we get all the missing backstorys once Kubo comes back with the Hell Arc🙏🔥
But not Aizen's. Let him be a mystery. Also good to shut up Madara fanboys

definitely influential.
I do believe he is from a noble family maybe the 5th but something happen and Tesi excape with him when he was a baby so it was kepted as a secret to protect him
The literal GOAT
Season 14 is definitely one my favorites in bleach
I wonder if Aizen knows that Ichigo is a suitable replacement for the soul king. a man like that, with the goals that he has ''accidentally'' creating the perfect replacement for SK may be quite a blow, or boost to his ego
He possibly does, he specifically wanted to talk to Ichigo one last time in CFYOW's opening before Shunsui and Kisuke stopped that by sealing his mouth and then having him taken away quickly.
one question, tf did urahara sell in his shop? if its soul society's items, was the sales good? since you know... regular human customers...
damn i just realised i asked more than one question. my bad
urahara sold various items in his shop, including soul society items. sales were good, even with regular human customers.
He often sell like superstitious items to random customers or just normal candy
This is possibly already answered by by Kubo himself in his QnA session (or not i am not up to date)
Urahara is just someone very smart and only occasionally takes an intrest into things. He doesn't even have a outstanding amount of reiatsu. He refined his abilities.
I don't think he'd be expelled from Soul Society if he was a noble. He'd be just put under Hausarrest.
Urahara warned Hisagi that if he were to pry too deep into history he would find thing that would make him question the ways of the soul reapers.
He is like Kyoraku aware of the wrongs of the worlds but rather decides to keep the status quo while Aizen wanted to destroy the established system.
As long as he remains in the world of the living as a supporter he's left alone.
Indeed. The most common criticism of him and I'm sure this was pointed out in story if not correct me, is that for Kisuke being such a genius it was all essentially wasted since it only benefiting those in power among the nobility and then Shinigami. In the postwar era, as we saw in the hell chapter, that has changed with TV and information from the human world becoming more accessible to everyone thanks to him. For someone who once literally killed to keep a stagnant status quo intact he sure has become an arbiter of its change.
urahara: smart, refined abilities. not much reiatsu. if noble, hausarrest. warns hisagi about history's secrets. like kyoraku, aware but keeps status quo. as supporter in world of living, left alone.
Using a level 90 kido, and several others idk about the spirit energy aspect of your post.
@killerv135 Exactly. His reiatsu is well above average by feats alone in every arc. He was captain level as a 3rd seat. People need to stop dismissing his abilities. Just because he's never reiatsu flexed on anyone doesn't mean he can't. His mastery of all shinigami combat forms prove him to be on a level above most of the G13.
Just coming from your last Urahara video from three years ago let's goooo
I just want a Urahara AnitHero or Villian Arc the traps this man would set up 😂😂😂
Urahara after being framed for a crime he never committed could have turned heel to destroy the Soul Society and Soul Reapers when having knowledge of The Original Sin but he opted to keep the status quo ironically Aizen didn't get exiled after attempting to destroy the Soul Society and Soul Reapers by overthrowing the Soul King. Some can speculate about his origins of nobility or coming from a modest family having ties with the Shioin clan or grew up in a rough district of the Soul Society. He laid back nature with his incredible intelligence is what makes him popular. He created a Kido that will only activate once Aizen is weakened which he hid without Aizen knowing about it. He also played a key role in Bleach like helping Ichigo to regain his Soul Reaper powers on both occasions, transported Karakura Town to the Soul Society, created the Hogyoku which is far superior to Aizen's, helped the Soul Reapers to get back their Bankais from The Quincies and was the key to Aizen's downfall.
Urahara's complex character and his involvement in various pivotal moments of Bleach make him a fan favorite. His origins and motivations remain intriguing, leaving room for speculation and theories about his past.
Favorite character in the serious, hands down
I think Kubo will drive more into Kisukes past in the new hell arc
The bigger question is how did Mayuri keep his make up in prison?
😂😂😂
Tanjiro
And other 0 squad member. The mommy whose loves to eat. Also there is a connection between Urahara and that lady. Cause, the gigai pills.
Or just maybe Urahara is just a nerd, he is the one that can made his own world and stuffs by himself.
He is preparing something, for the sake of sireiretei.
Nah I think tessai is more likely to be the one from the fifth family. It works much better if Tessainwas from the fifth and Urahara was somekind of an Orphan I say this loosely cause I have this backstory in my head and I just need proof if my theory is at least close, I'd like to Imagine Kisuke met Tessai, Yoruichi, and Kukkaku at some point and he did it by breaking into Shihouin clans home as a way to test a theory he had, then the four met each other at first they didn't respect him or at least didn't think too much of him, but overtime they get into whacky adventures and who knows some potential crazy plot which might involve Kukaku's Hand being cut off and Kisuke built this Prosthetic arm for her; admittedly it's only in the anime since cencorship but it's still possible for him to give her one cause it's Kisuke; or Tessai getting a development where he was a guy who looked at him as someone who wasn't all that impressive and in a humble way not in a douchebag manner but became someone who was in awe of his Genius and Yoruichi seeing him as this guy with untapped and unlimited potential which she tries to bring out by putting him into these positions without his consent. Hell it sounds like he could be a main character with the right set up.
So collections of Rei-o fragments. Interesting.
Urahara and Aizen are long separated brothers bro, what are you on about? xD
Maybe Senjumaru is Kisuke's mother..
hmm...
I honestly feel like Kisuke created the Hogyoku in order to create another Soul King OR in order to find a source of power to REPLACE the Soul King. Cause it doesn’t make sense to create something of that much power and NOT have Squad Zero get involved. Ichibei Hypsube MOST DEFINITELY knew about it and was probably told by the Soul King what was going on. But when Kisuke was kicked out of the Soul Society those plans were interrupted. Kisuke was more than likely given that order directly from The Reio or Ichibei. And failed to create a perfect Hogyoku.
intriguing theory about Urahara's motivations and the purpose of the Hogyoku. It's possible that Urahara had a larger plan in mind, but the details remain mysterious.
It was not Urahara's VERSION of the Hogyoku! he created the ONLY hogyoku that exists and Aizen used afterwards...
Hey Imran I know I might sound annoying but... I've recently noticed that you've been using AI for some of your thumbnail, in my opinion they don't look really good and you should stick to Kubo's art and fanarts (if you have permissions).
By the way I love the addition of the chibis and your little character but I do find it a bit hard to understand what emotion you trying to convince by using some expressions, my impression is the expression doesn't "fit" what your're saying sometimes, maybe that's just me...
Anyways keep up with the great work. 🙌
Was it ever stated how exactly fullbringers get fragments of the soul king?
not explicitly stated, but it is implied that fullbringers obtain their powers through a connection to the remnants of the Soul King's power.
7:12 wtf
Bleach lacked, lacks and will lack the backstory behind the hougyoku creation
It would be cool if Orihime were Urahara's secret daughter...hear me out. Urahara and Orihime are very similar in personality in many ways. Remember Urahara has been in the human world for a long while and Orihime's mother was known to be a prostitute. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Urahara unintentionally got Orihime's mother pregnant and the reason for Orihime being treated like trash might be because she is illegitimate. This distant relative aunt who is paying for Orihime's finances could actually be Urahara without Orihime knowing.
Not convinced? What about Orihime's hair and eye color (reference anime only). Why is Ichigo's hair color bright orange? Because of Ichigo''s mother hair is orange? No. If I remember correctly, her hair color was more brown, in the anime it was similar to Orihime color tho. My point is...could the orange hair represent something else like soul reaper blood?
I'm just saying...the evidence it there.
Imagine urahara was friend to tosen👹🐐😈
I am pretty sure that Urahara is a descendant of the unknown royal family
How come he creates the hogyoko yet never guards it well? I think he created it as a trap to coax both ichigo and aizen and for it absorb reishi around it and come back steal it and use it unseal hell or absorb hell. Or something.
There is not a solution about the soul king. I think the arc isn't done.
because, Urahara's intentions with the Hogyoku and his actions surrounding it are indeed mysterious. The future of the Soul King and the possibility of an unfinished arc are intriguing possibilities.
Just like how kubo purposely won’t tell the backstory of aizen, he won’t for urahara also. The mystery fits the story better and urahara may play a big role in the hell arc since he told yurichi if he should turn evil, she should be the one to stop him
mystery adds depth to characters, and Urahara's potential role in the Hell arc could be significant given his connection to Yoruichi.
Kubo said he WANTS to reveal his past but when he was asked about azien’s past he said HE DOESN’T WANT TO .
kubo's got his secrets, than.@@No_one795
I don't get it, aren't they all the soul where they were once a life like ichigo. How do they still have younger memories ?
Well good thing kubo is going to ass Urahara and yoroichi backstory in tybw. Most likely cour 3
Nah If he ever ADDED their past it will be in c 4 even it’s unlikely
Eh isn't the soul king dead?
Yes
It would be great if he became enemy in hell Arc the Villainess need someone smart and urahara with his knowledge is the best choice
1 second gang

Where's the novel content from bleach UA-camrs? I'm honestly tired of seeing theories and power scaling nonsense when there is so much content available if one would only do the research
CFYOW confirms that the hogyoku has a fragment of SK in it? Thats...kind of lame to be honest, I liked the idea of it being nothing to do with the SK. I mean everything else is fine to me but I mean not everything in the series needs to be due to the SK imo...
It revealed it within the manga when Aizen took a piece of Rangikus soul.
how come he is not one of a zero squad 😕
Three of them played with aizen without using their (probably plot armor ass pull) bankais.
YAY 1st
Like
Urahara needed to be main villain of series
Honestly love his character. Truly a GOAT!
In the cour 2 of the TYBW anime....Urahara was kinda sus to me because it seemed like he didn't care about Ichigo
Yeesss , he let ichigo go to the royal palace knowing he could or would die , just to stop yhwhach by a minute
